The Miami Dolphins learned Sunday, July 28, that WR Armon Binns (knee) is out for the season, and WR Rishard Matthews (undisclosed) will be sidelined several weeks with an undisclosed ailment. The two were considered the favorites for the No. 4 and 5 receiver jobs. With those two on the shelf, WRs Chad Bumphis, Jasper Collins, Jeff Fuller, Marvin McNutt, Andrell Smith, Kenny Stafford and Brian Tyms all find themselves competing for a bigger piece of the pie in training camp and the preseason. Matthews could still end up being the team's No. 4 receiver unless he is forced to start the season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.

Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland said Sunday, April 28, that he is comfortable with what the team has at the receiver position. The team sees upside in WRs Armon Binns and Rishard Matthews, who will compete with former practice squad members Jeff Fuller and Brian Tyms for the No. 4 and 5 receiver jobs. With the team expected to use two tight-end sets, the fourth receiver might play less this year.

Miami Dolphins rookie WR Jeff Fuller is making a good impression with the coaching staff halfway through the preseason. "We like Jeff. He's making steady progress," head coach Joe Philbin said. "I want to say he played upwards of around 40 snaps if I'm not mistaken the other night. He obviously caught that nice ball down the middle of the field on a good protection, adjustment by Ryan and a good pickup by the offensive line and the running back. It was one of the better-executed plays that we had. … He's a good threat down the middle of the field. He's a good red zone threat. These next couple of weeks are important for him."

Miami Dolphins WR Jeff Fuller showed some flashes during offseason workouts but he may have a hard time making the final roster. Fuller has some drops during the workouts which was a problem he had during his college career.

Texas A&M WR Jeff Fuller ran the 40-yard dash in 4.66 seconds and 4.65 seconds at his Pro Day Wednesday, March 7. He also ran the short shuttle in 4.33 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.10 seconds. He measured a 36-inch vertical jump during the workout.
